# c8: divided things

Tian Youfu stared at him, and Wang Yongshun hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll get it right away! Sanya, uncle is sorry for you, and uncle will definitely compensate you well in the future. Don't resent uncle."

Wang Yongshun rushed into the house to grab his ID. At this moment, someone felt something was wrong.

"Why do the Yongshun couple live in the house where the Yongfu couple used to live?"

The Wang family live in a remote area, and Li Chunjuan is annoying to get along with. Still, people have long known that the middle courtyard wall of the Wang family has been demolished, even if they've never seen it. However, Wang Yongshun is the eldest brother, but he lives in the house of his younger brother and his deceased sister-in-law…

Tian Youfu's face became increasingly ugly.

The tragic thing is that Wang Yongshun went back to the house and searched for his ID but couldn't find it. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Wang Ying reminded him very "intimately": "Uncle, did auntie move it to Yaozong's room?"

Yes, yes, Wang Yongshun slapped his forehead. His wife liked to give everything to her son. Maybe she hid the things in his son's house.

Wang Yongshun turned around and entered another room.

"...The room where Yaozong lives seems to be where Wang Ying used to live, right?"

The mood of the people around him became subtle.

Wang Yongshun searched around his son's house again, but still couldn't find him. He was even more anxious when he came out again.

Wang Ying: "Uncle, why don't you ask auntie."

Li Chunjuan's eyes were burning at the moment, but everyone seemed to have forgotten about her, and no one asked to take out the rag from her mouth.

Now Wang Ying brought it up, but Wang Yongshun refused: "No, no, I'll go to your sister Lingling's room to have a look!"

Li Chunjuan is a fool. If you take off the rag from her mouth now, who knows what deadly words she will say! Just keep it blocked.

Wang Ying: "That's okay. How about I go look for it in my house? Maybe my aunt has returned it to me."

The two people entered the other two rooms respectively.

"...I looked at the room where Wang Ying lives, it seems to be the smallest room among the four..."

The members who were watching didn't know what to feel at this moment.

Looking at the Wang family's yard, Wang Ying's family's two rooms were originally on the west side, and Wang Yongshun's family's two rooms were on the east side. Now that the middle courtyard wall has been demolished, Wang Ying lives in a small room on the east end. The original kitchen of Wang Yongshun's family was on the east side. Now the kitchen on the east side looks dilapidated and in disrepair. On the contrary, there is a water tank and jar at the door of the original kitchen of Wang Ying's family on the west side.

Those who were nosier went directly to the door of the kitchen to have a look, then came back with disbelief written all over their faces.

"There is a piece of bacon in the kitchen!"

"And half a bowl of lard!"

"There are several bags piled up in the corner! They look like food!"

……

Tian Youfu also saw an enamel basin with his sharp eyes. He had the impression that the enamel basin was given to Wang Ying by the commune, and he delivered and handed it to Wang Yongshun.

At this moment, the enamel basin is leaning against the door of Wang Lingling's room...

Tian Youfu couldn't care so much at the moment, and strode towards the room where Wang Ying lived.

Wang Yongshun, who had just found the ID from Wang Lingling's house, saw Tian Youfu coming over when he went out. He stuttered a little: "Brigade leader, what are you doing?"

Tian Youfu pushed Wang Yongshun away and stood at the door of Wang Ying's room.

As soon as he opened the door, Tian Youfu was as silent as a volcano waiting to erupt.

Not to mention that everything in the house is missing arms and legs, why is there a pile of bricks and rotten wood piled up in the corner? ! There is also Wang Ying’s bed. The mattress is dreadfully shabby, and the sheets on the mattress are made of scraps of cloth...

Wang Yongshun wished he could give himself a beating, why did he forget this!

"Brigade leader...I didn't notice..."

Wang Yongshun himself couldn't say this. It was still possible for him to say that he didn't know about Wang Ying's subsidy. It would be completely unbelievable if he said he didn't know about Wang Ying living in this room.

Sure enough, Tian Youfu didn't even want to listen to what he had to say anymore. He turned around and pushed the doors of other rooms open.

Seeing this, Tian Youfu almost vomited blood.

In the room where Wang Yongshun and Li Chunjuan lived, the tables and benches were all good, and there was also an enamel jar given to Wang Ying by the brigade on the table. In Wang Lingling's house, there were large glass mirrors, which looked like a lot of money, and a dressing table that looked a bit old. An old carpenter who came to watch the fun identified it as the furniture that Wang Yongfu had made for his wife when he was still there. There is also Wang Yaozong's room, which is as clean as a room in the city. The sheets are all new, and the quilt is filled with new cotton...

Now, let alone Tian Youfu, the people around him looked at Wang Yongshun differently.

Wang Yongshun couldn't have earned so many things, right? We are all in the same team, and everyone has an idea of ​​how well each family has lived in the past few years.

Wang Yongshun's face turned red.

Tian Youfu didn't even bother to listen to his sophistry and snatched Wang Ying's ID.

"Okay, Wang Yongshun. Spending your niece's money and living in your niece's house, you are still a man, aren't you?"

Wang Ying shrank in the room for a while, pretending not to know anything and looking innocent.

Wang Yongshun was so ashamed that he could not speak, and the people around him were also filled with indignation.

Uncle Tian Er took a sip and said, "What a shameless thing. Why is Wang Ying so thin? You two are so immoral!"

The people next to him also pointed.

"Let me tell you, our family member said that he saw Wang Ying washing clothes by the river one morning. I still didn't believe it. I think Yongshun is not that kind of person. Now look... maybe Li Chunjuan really treats people like her little servants!"

"None of the landlords in the old society were so oppressive. These two people are so evil-minded!"

"Our Hei Dan goes to the same school as Wang Yaozong. He said before that Wang Yaozong is very wealthy. When he eats in the school cafeteria, he always eats white buns with big meat."

"People like this should be arrested by Dashu! They should be sent to the commune and imprisoned for a while!"

Tian Dashu had a sullen face. If Tian Youfu wasn't here, it wouldn't be his turn to make the decision. He would want to take Li Chunjuan and Wang Yongshun away right now!

Wang Yongshun was really scared now. He could still make excuses before, but he also thought that Wang Ying was just a little girl who could be coaxed or frightened into obedience. Who would have thought that it would cause such a big fuss, and these people even said that they would be arrested...

Wang Yongshun's hands trembled, and he looked at Wang Ying as if pleading: "Sanya, uncle was confused and did something wrong..."

Wang Ying sighed in her heart, this person is smarter than Li Chunjuan, and how to solve the problem this time solely depends on her, the victim. Wang Ying wasn't just going to agree to help him. She had finally torn off the face of her uncle's family. She would be crazy if she gave him any face.

Tian Youfu beside him couldn't stand Wang Yongshun, so he pushed Wang Yongshun aside. Then he winked and asked several women to take Wang Ying to the side to talk about the relationship.

The little girl Wang Ying has been bullied by Wang Yongshun's family for several years. I'm afraid she still doesn't know what's going on.

Of course Tian Youfu knew that this matter ultimately depended on Wang Ying's personal wishes. After all, this matter could be made big or small. At the most serious level, it was a couple bullying the child of a martyr and sending them to a prison camp. To put it mildly, if Wang Ying was willing to be more open-minded, that was fine too.

Tian Youfu sighed. From his point of view, of course, he didn't want Wang Ying to make a big fuss. If things got big, they would inevitably say that he, the brigade leader, was incompetent. It would seem that dealing with Wang Yongshun and Li Chunjuan was a separate matter, but in fact it was also a stain on him.

But……

Tian Youfu remembered what Uncle Tian Er said just now, that Wang Ying saved his youngest son. And if it wasn't for Xiao Shitou, she wouldn't have received this beating today.

Tian Youfu made up his mind and supported Wang Ying no matter what choice she made. Even if Wang Ying asked the militiamen to take the people away, he would not say anything.

Wang Yongshun stood there, feeling like there was a bellows on his chest, and every breath was filled with cold breath.

Now he knew he was afraid, fearing that Wang Ying would send him to the prison in tears. What happened today was beyond his expectation. His family's reputation was shattered to the ground, and he didn't know what to do in the future.

Half of Wang Yongshun's body was cold. If Wang Ying sent the couple to a prison cell, would his family's house be still available? And Yaozong, can Yaozong still go to school in the future?

Thinking of this, Wang Yongshun was filled with hatred. He watched Wang Ying burst into tears as a group of women spoke to her, but she nodded, not knowing what she had agreed to.

Wang Yongshun was so cruel that he ran under the eaves, grabbed the feather duster hanging on the wall, and beat Li Chunjuan head and face!

"You crazy bitch! It's all you! I left the house in your hands, but you did something like this! You even tricked me into this by saying that it was Sanya who said she wanted to move to the house where Lingling used to live. Are you worthy of it? What about Sanya's parents?”

Wang Yongshun yelled while beating her, causing Li Chunjuan to roll on the ground. The dust in the courtyard kept flying, and the couple's bodies were covered with messy black marks.

Tian Youfu's face became even more ugly. Tian Dashu and several young people went up and snatched the feather duster from Wang Yongshun's hand.

Wang Yongshun burst into tears and knelt down in front of Wang Ying: "Sanya, uncle, I'm truly sorry for you! I'm sorry for your parents!"

Wang Ying applauded in her heart. She had guessed right earlier. This uncle was such a capable person, and someone else might not be able to do this with such ruthlessness.

Sure enough, there were unsteady people around him who were softened by Wang Yongshun's crying. A grown man, even if he is a little careless, still commits an evil act by taking on such a wife.

Wang Ying heard the whispers of the people around her, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

Yes, the bad things all fall on Li Chunjuan, and the good things all fall on Wang Yongshun.

If she held on to her grudges now and said that she wanted these two people to be taken away by the militia, these people would say that she didn't care about family ties.

Wang Ying rubbed the martyr's child certificate in her hand. With Wang Yongshun's behavior, he was probably planning to inherit her house.

After all, she is now eighteen and will get married in a few years.

By then, these two houses would be extremely close, and even if she built a ten-meter-high courtyard wall in the middle, she wouldn't be able to protect her family.

Wang Yongshun was still chattering on the side: "Sanya, uncle doesn't ask for anything else. I just ask you to give me a chance to make it up to you. Uncle swears that everything in the family will be given to you in the future! Your subsidies and work points, uncle, I’ll give it back to you! I just ask you not to separate from me, your parents are gone, and uncle really wants to take care of you!”

Take care of……

Wang Ying changed her original plan. The original owner had served the family for several years. Is it enough to get back the subsidized work points? Since Wang Yongshun had said that he would take care of her, she would give them this opportunity.

And Wang Ying also understood that she was an orphan with no father or mother. Even if Wang Yongshun and his wife are sent to prison, will everything be fine if she lives here alone?

Impossible. With 200 work points, money, and two houses, she is just a fat sheep.

"Uncle Youfu, it seems that my uncle also knows that he is wrong." Wang Ying's small face looked particularly childish, "And the uncle said that he will return my subsidy and work points to me. He also needs to take good care of me..."

Tian Youfu felt that Wang Ying was too soft-hearted, but everyone around him was moved by Wang Ying's kindness. What a good girl, she doesn't care about her uncle treating her like that.

Tian Youfu persuaded her a few more times, but saw that Wang Ying didn't change her mind and had nothing else to say.

Wang Yongshun looked relieved, like he was going to survive the disaster, and frantically promised Tian Youfu that he would take good care of Wang Ying.

Tian Youfu was so angry but he didn't let it out. At this moment, while people were still there, he simply started to deal with it according to Wang Ying's wishes.

Wang Yongshun watched helplessly as everyone began to move their things. With the old carpenter here, Wang Ying's family items could clearly be identified and moved. Everything was collected and put back into Wang Ying's house.

Tian Youfu made the decision and asked Wang Ying to move back to the house on the west side, where Wang Yaozong lived. After cleaning up Wang Yongshun and his wife's house, Wang Ying said that it was her parents' house and she wanted to keep it.

Well, now Wang Yongshun and his family can only live in the two rooms to the east of their home. With this change, the closest thing to Wang Ying's house is the kitchen.

When speaking about the kitchen, Tian Youfu simply asked the accountant from the brigade to calculate the money they owed. Wang Yongshun's family still had to pay back the amount of Wang Ying's subsidy.

Wang Yongshun found out from the calculations that the dozen yuan he had at home was not enough.

Tian Youfu simply thought of a way, which was to price the things Wang Yongshun and Li Chunjuan had, and then ask Wang Ying if she wanted it. If Wang Ying wanted it, he would offset it a little. If Wang Ying didn't want it, he would ask whoever wanted it in the brigade and give them money in exchange.

Li Chunjuan was already in tears now. These were all things she had finally managed to obtain! They were all for Yaozong to get a wife in the future!

Wang Yongshun also felt uncomfortable, but the words had already been said. At this moment, he did not dare to refute, and he still cheered loudly and was very positive.

As a result, Wang Ying's house gradually gained a new quilt, an enamel basin and an enamel jar, her mother's makeup mirror from that time, a strip of bacon, half a bag of cornmeal, a dozen eggs, two chickens...

Wang Ying wanted everything. After all, it was so difficult to buy things nowadays. How could she not want them when she could get so much at once?

It didn't take long for things to be sorted out neatly. At this point, the two rooms to the east of Wang Yongshun's house were no longer visible. They were a mess and there wasn't even a decent household item. The windows were all broken, the water tank that belonged to them was also smashed, the original stove didn't have a fire left, and there wasn't even a pot...

Tian Youfu made the final decision: "The work points owed to Wang Ying will be deducted directly from your family. Also, you will build the kitchen yourself. We have already divided the families so you will live separately. There is no reason to eat and drink with her."

Wang Yongshun dared not say no at this moment and nodded hurriedly. Even though my heart was bleeding, I still comforted myself that these were Wang Ying's two rooms. Besides, when Wang Ying got married, wouldn't these houses still belong to their family? Wang Ying can't marry with her family and house, right? As for recruiting a [son-in-law to be married in](#user-content-fn-1)[^1], how does Wang Ying look like someone who can be the pillar of her family? If it weren't for Tian Youfu, she would probably be crying instead.

Wang Yongshun quickly expressed his position: "Sanya, don't worry, our families are separated. From now on, uncle's family will only take care of you and won't ask for anything."

Wang Ying said, "You say that, but let's see if I am willing to give it to you anything."

But this was not the time to talk about this. There were many people around to help. Wang Ying knew that now was a good time to build her reputation, so she simply took out the lard and bacon that had been given to her.

"All the uncles and aunts have worked hard," Wang Ying said with shyness on her face, "I don't have much in my hands, so these are just my thanks for the food. If you are not afraid of hard work, please come to my kitchen to cook some food, then everyone gets a share.”

She didn't know how to cook anyway, so if she kept these things, it would be asking Li Chunjuan to come over to make trouble; might as well eat them all at once.

[^1]: In this case, the husband would take the wife's name, and move into her house. Compare this to the typical daughter-in-law marrying into the family, where the husband's family would have a house to move into.
